Swimming during pregnancy, picking up gold for health!

1.Can pregnant mothers swim? Pregnant mothers can of course swim, and swimming is still one of the most suitable pregnancy exercises for pregnant mothers. When swimming, the pressure of water can prompt tissue fluid to enter the blood vessels, thus reducing the symptoms of edema, so more swimming can effectively relieve lower limb edema. On the other hand, the infiltration of tissue fluid can increase the amount of circulating blood, which is conducive to improving the fetal blood oxygen supply. Moreover, the buoyancy of water can share the gravity of the body, reduce the musculoskeletal force load, and easily relieve the discomfort caused by the bulky body during pregnancy. At the same time in the water exercise, can well avoid joints and muscles from external injuries. Pregnant mothers who can swim and love to swim, continue to swim during pregnancy is worth encouraging and insisting. We also want to swim up, for pregnancy health gold medal! 2, pregnancy swimming safety code to go swimming when pregnant for some pregnant family members is a “crazy” thing, but as long as the pregnant mother careful and careful, pregnant family members accompany care, we can still safely go swimming. We hope that our “safety rules for swimming during pregnancy” can protect pregnant mothers who love swimming. The first rule is to wear non-slip slippers, which can effectively avoid slipping and falling before entering and after getting out of the water. The second rule is to accompany the pregnant family members, pay attention to the ground condition of the venue, and remind and protect the pregnant mother at any time. Before swimming and when resting, you should replenish nutrition and water in time to prevent dehydration and hypoglycemia. (Pregnant mothers are prone to dehydration, swimming will consume physical energy, timely nutrition and water replenishment is necessary, nutritional supplements to liquid food is appropriate, but do not eat too much, which will increase the body load when swimming, so that pregnant mothers feel hard work). The fourth rule is to warm up before entering the water, so that the body can enter into a state of motion to prevent cramps after entering the water. Code five before entering the water to shower, so that the skin to adapt to the water temperature, and rinse off the body sweat stains to reduce water pollution. Code six to enter the water to slowly immerse in the appropriate way, to have the protection of pregnant family members to support, do not jump into the water feet down, this may make the water into the vagina to cause infection, and easy to produce abdominal impact. The seventh rule is to swim in a way that the pregnant mother is good at, breaststroke and backstroke are recommended, avoid diving. (Breaststroke is less laborious, backstroke can reduce the impact of water gravity on the abdomen, diving may bring excessive impact on the abdomen). Code eight swimming action amplitude should not be large, swimming speed should not be fast, advocate gentle and soothing, can move to relax. During swimming, we should also pay attention to control the intensity of the exercise and ensure the safety of the exercise. We can measure the exercise heart rate to determine whether their exercise intensity is appropriate, if the heart rate exceeds 140 times / min, you need to stop exercise, rest immediately. You can also use the “dialogue test” method to control the intensity of exercise, the father-to-be can talk to the pregnant mother in the exercise, if you feel that the pregnant mother answer you are more strenuous, then you should let her stop exercise. 3, swimming to pay attention to health If you go swimming in public pools, you should choose the water quality, cleanliness, filtration and disinfection equipment, and orderly management of swimming venues, to ensure the health and safety of swimming. For the need to handle the provision of health certificates for swimming pools, it will be more reassuring. Also, if the situation allows, you can choose an outdoor swimming place, so that you can avoid the chlorine stimulation of water disinfection. At the same time, it is best to swim in a 30 ℃ environment, too cold easy to cramp, too hot body temperature is easy to rise, 30 ℃ is just right. After swimming you should not want to let the disinfection chemicals, stains and bacteria in the pool water stay on your body, so you should immediately shower and wash your body. If you don’t take care of your swimming hygiene, you may get an infection that can affect your baby’s intrauterine growth and development condition. Tip: We encourage scientific exercise during pregnancy, and swimming is a very suitable exercise for pregnant mothers. However, in order to ensure the safety of the exercise. It is not recommended for pregnant mothers with the following conditions: pregnant mothers before 16 weeks of pregnancy (not yet suitable for pregnancy exercise), pregnant mothers after 28 weeks of pregnancy (sudden conditions such as premature rupture of membranes may occur), pregnant mothers who have experienced ≥3 spontaneous abortions, pregnant mothers who have experienced premature births, pregnant mothers who have experienced vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. What type of antihypertensive medication should I take if I have high blood pressure during pregnancy? Can I take them? A: When pregnant, hypertensive pregnant women with systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg must be treated with antihypertensive therapy, and hypertensive pregnant women with systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg can be treated with antihypertensive therapy. Pregnant women who have been treated with antihypertensive drugs before pregnancy should continue antihypertensive therapy. Antihypertensive therapy can prevent serious maternal-fetal complications such as eclampsia, cardiovascular accidents and placental abruption. The process of blood pressure lowering should be smooth and should not fluctuate too much. To ensure uteroplacental perfusion, blood pressure should not be lower than 130/80 mmHg. Commonly used oral antihypertensive drugs include labetalol, nifedipine short-acting or extended-release tablets, and hydrazidiazide. If the blood pressure control of oral drugs is not satisfactory, intravenous drugs can be used: labetalol, nicardipine, phentolamine, hydrazidiazide. To prevent hemoconcentration, reduction in effective circulating blood volume and tendency to hypercoagulation, diuretics are generally not used to lower blood pressure during pregnancy. Atenolol and prazosin are not recommended. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARB) are prohibited. Along with medication to lower blood pressure, we also recommend lifestyle modifications such as improved sleep, peace of mind, exercise and a balanced diet. Your primary care physician will provide an individualized treatment plan based on your condition and response to medication. In addition to taking your medication regularly according to your doctor’s protocol, it is also important that you monitor and record your blood pressure on your own.
